IMPROVEMENT IN STOVE-LEGS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whomjt may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD CARD, of the city and county of Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stove-Legs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawingsand to the letters of reference marked thereon, in which- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the back showing the movable parts.

Figure 2 is a vertical section of onehalf, representing a side view.

Figures 3 and 4 are end views of the two parts.

My invention consists in constructing a stove-leg of two parts, so arranged as to be shortened or lengthened, as may be desired, retaining the same design in the leg, and having the cast foot always to restupon-the floor.

A, fig. 1, is the upper part, the top end being made with a projection, B, the ordinary way for attaching to a stove.

On the perpendicular edges of B, and a suitable distance from the lower end, are cast two lips, G G,

D is the foot or movable part, the upper end of which is cast of a suitable shape and thickness to form a nut,fig. 4, the sides being made beveling- They are fitted or cast so as to slide easily under the lips O G, fig. 1, thus holding D to A and from springing ofl'from A when in use. as shown on fig.

the same; hutfthe screw does not constitute my invent-ion.

The advantage is, a stove can be leveled or made to stand firm on an uneven floor without changing the design or appearance of the leg, keeping the foot as cast to rest upon the floor, dispensing with blocking up the legs the ordinary way, in case the pipe should be a trifle too short, when the stove is put up in diiferent places, which sometimes occurs moving from one house to another.

An index of inches or fractional parts can be cast on D, (the front would be an appropriate place,) to be more exact in setting the leg to any required length.

I do not claim the screw E as my invention but What I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

The lips Q 0, in combination with the upper part A, and sliding foot D, when constructed and arranged. as and for the purpose specified.

EDWARD CARD.
